How To Create A Free Blog On The BlogSpot Blogging Platform



Having a blog is a great thing because you can share anything you want and if you are wise you can also earn a decent income from your blog.
 Creating a blog using your own domain and hosting, and creating your blog via WordPress(.org) highly recommended.
There is no doubt that self-hosted WordPress blogs presents a better blogging platform when compared to free blogging platforms like BlogSpot.com and WordPress.com.
However, many beginners who want to start blogging do not want to make an initial investment of funds to create a blog. This is reasonable.
There are many blogging platforms, which offer users the ability to create free blogsIf you were looking for a simple free blog, my suggestion would be to start blogging with WordPress.com or BlogSpot.com.
Once you have some blogging experience, you can advance and become more professional with a self-hosted WordPress blog.
You can create a free blog using BlogSpot, but it does have limitations.
However, as mentioned above, for a beginner it is a great way to learn how to create a blog and begin the blogging process.

This post is for the “beginners” who are new to blogging and would like to get started by learning the basics involved in the process.
Before beginning the complete tutorial, there are a couple of things you should know:
  • Firstly, Blogspot is a blogging platform powered by Google. An opportunity is offered by blogspot to start a blog, but Picasa will host all your images.  Blogger, in this sense, is a Google-centric blogging platform.
  • Secondly, if the goal of your blog is to make money and to have a blog that is professional in appearance, Suggestion is that you create your blog using WordPress.

Step-by-step guide to creating a Free Blog on Blogger

 To create your free BlogSpot blog site, head over to Blogspot and login using your Google account. If you do not have a Google (gmail) account, you can create one free.
For a first time user, you will see an option to use the identity from your Google Plus profile, or you can use your limited BlogSpot profile, recommendation is using your Google Plus profile.
Once you are logged in, click on “new blog”

Name your Blog

The first thing you need to do is add a name and select your domain. .
Avoid using your personal name as the domain name, and instead use some generic domain name that you can brand later with a custom domain.
Nou you can select a blog template , and click on “Create Blog”.

Now your blog is created, but you are not done yet!

There are a few settings that you need to set on your newly created BlogSpot blog to make it easy to use.

 As of now you are on the BlogSpot dashboard where you will see your blog’s backend. From here, you can go to “Settings” and make changes to improve your blog’s visibility.
:

From here you can click on “Posts” > “New post” and start writing your very first blog post!
But before you write your first post, Suggestion is that you go to “Pages” and create at least one “About” page describing who you are and what your blog is about.
You should change your blog’s template as the default one is generic and boring (in my opinion).
You can download and install on your blog from BTemplates,Soratemplate etc. Alternatively, you can go to “Settings” > “Template” and change the template from there.

If you made blogposts and it is running properly then you can go to “Settings” > “Earnings” and enable AdSense for your blog. This will allow you to earn money from your free BlogSpot blog.

So your blog is almost ready and you can start writing posts.
